Do you have a stock pig with a 2F and a 4 speed?

[Napster]

I have a few questions for anyone that owns a pig that came stock with a 2F and a 4spd. I am in the process of swapping my 1.5F and 3spd out and need some advice.

Is there any way that someone can take pictures of the motor mounts that come off the frame in the engine bay?

Second, Is the 2F 4spd combo supported on the bell housing on the stock pig or did they change to a crossmember like the fj60?

Last, if I just drop the 2F and 4spd onto the 1.5F motor mounts, is the length the same and will the shifters be in a good spot?

Thanks!

use original F bellhousing mounts and swap them to the 4spd bellhousing(bolt on).Yes the shifter position will change slightly(further back).Driveshafts will have to be lengthened and shortened and converted to 4 spd TC bolt pattern on one end or buy new TC flanges...Or keep the 3spd TC for a lower gearing and buy and adapter gear from Kurt(what I did)

What is this adapter gear you talk of?

The gear replaces the 3spd spline to 4spd tranny output shaft spline in the TC. PTO gear is removed and a spacer goes in its place. Easily done and I was able to keep my vacuum setup as well.

yep, Mark has the gears and spacers( marksoffroad ). motor mounts in the engine bay are the same, and as stated, the bellhousing ears are the rear mounts...

Thank you all. Next question is that if I were to make a new cross member and not use the bell housing mounts, should I beef up the motor mounts on the 55 frame rails?
